Instead, the S-ICD has a lead that runs under the skin, alongside the breastbone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The S-ICD greatly reduces perioperative, lead-related complications without significantly compromising ICD performance,&#8221; says Jeff Healey, a senior scientist at PHRI, a research institute of McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The S-ICD is now an attractive alternative to the TV-ICD, particularly in patients at increased risk for lead-related complications,&#8221; adds Healey, a professor of cardiology at McMaster, and an electrophysiologist at HHS.<\/p>\n<p>Healey presented the study&#8217;s results at Heart Rhythm 2022 in San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p>The study involved 544 eligible patients (one-quarter females) with average age of 49, at 14 clinical centres in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>They were electrocardiographically screened; 251 patients were randomized to S-ICD and 252 patients to TV-ICD. They were followed up for an average of 2.5 years to this point; follow-up is ongoing for the study.<\/p>\n<p>Younger patients are usually under-represented in ICD trials,&#8221; says Healey. &#8220;However, our study included ICD-eligible patients 18 to 60 years old who had a cardiogenetic syndrome or were at high risk for lead-related complications.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;Canada has a strong history of ICD clinical trials and registries of patients with inherited heart rhythm disorders.&#8221;\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                                                                        Better assessment of risk from heart surgery results in better patient outcomes\n                                                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    McMaster University<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eng.mcmaster.ca\/index.html\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg>\n                                                            <use href=\"https:\/\/medx.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v6\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/>\n                                                        <\/svg><br \/>\n                                                    <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>\n                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 New cardiac defibrillator much safer for patients (2022, April 30)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 30 April 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-04-cardiac-defibrillator-safer-patients.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
